Since our rcHrt yesterday, wo have heard of the following cnses of cholera in the city, which havo tvr-lliiualed f(i tally : IV til una tinnier, (brother of George Engler, whose di'ntli wan announced on Monday evening,) a German, residing on Boutli street, between Filth and Sixth. William Cook, (I'm her of Thoi Cook, whose death was announced on Saturday,) residence on Town, between Filth and Sixth street. The ralurrd person, (corner of Town and Third streets,) alluded to- yeslerdajy died in the afternoon, making the liltli doaih in tint nest. Arrangements, we understand, are made for removing the balance to aoine other place. One or two families in the vicinity abandoned their homes yesterday, literally expelled by the dangerous and offensive condition of the premises. ' WJiuso duty is it to abate such nuisances ? W are gratified that the City Council have taken if in liAinl to reorganize a It ard of Heallh; and that men every way suited to (he duty, have been placed upon that Hoard. Wo may now expectsH and accurate reports, which we believe will tend very much to do away the impression now generally prevailing, that a moat destructive pestilence is now raging in the city. Such has at no time been the fact though there has been present among us for five or six weeks past a dis ease fearful for its mystery and for the sudden fulality ol its demonstrations. Up to yesterday there had been no perceptible abatement of that disease. And while wo luvo faih-d to discern any good cause for multitudes of our citizens abandoning their homes on account of I ho sickness which they apprehended, we would not couiiKel those who have so gone to return, until health shall be more generally restored. The same timidity which induced their flight, might possibly be the very means of danger to them, should they return while the disease ao much dreaded lingers a-inong us.J We hear of no new eases to-day. The Iiiconijiolciit Clerk nad hit Two Volumes j of Wanders. Stanley Mathews, the worthy firstling of that coa. : lition whoxe munition it was to lay an unclean thing ! in every place ot which it could gain llio control, ! and who made au ungeiitleninnly attempt to throw ! tho burden of his own blunders and incompetency upon others, seems to take it in hiyh dudgeon ; because we do not see fit to release him from that responsibility which, an an officer he nssiuued, and which he cannot throw oil', however uneasily it may lit upon him. In regard toullicial responsibility for the correctness of the record of the proceedings of the House of ilep-resoutatives, the law of the Slate knows but one o Ulcer, and that oilicer is the Cm;kk or tiik House. That he may have pergonal knowledge of the contents of the record, it is provided ihut it shall be read, in the presence of the House ; and that there may be an officer responsible for its nccuracy, it is provided that after being read, " it shall be attested by the clerk ;" the clerk is to furnish the Slate Printer with a certified copy ; his duty is to edit, and superintend the publication of the journal, and lor all tins he has a right to claim and receive a remuneration. Now, it Stanley Mathews performed this duty according to law, who is responsible for the gramoiati-eat errors and blunders with which the two to'iuiues of errata crammed ? He read the journal every morningis his grammatical apprehension so slow that he did not observe in the manuscript those disfigurement of language which became obvious to huu through the medium of a printed copy ? When the record came under his eye, in the nailing ; when it was ex amiued for the purpose of atttstutiun; when lie eertiji ed to the copy delivered to the State printer; when he nas residing in this city to edit the journal and read the proof had he no calling then to rectify tin-errorn,iiiily tin omissions and correct tho patois ol his subordinates? The truth is, he did not know m duty, and had no disposition In learn it. His gram tnatical productions all went to swell the columns of tho Cin:nnnit( (jt')be, whit he cared as little about the truth of the record which, as a tworn officer, it was Ins duty to make, as bo did about the verucity of his communications to that most exemplary periodical. If lis hud been less of the man about town," and more of tho public servant, ho would not have found it iiecesHury to tell h falsehood in order to shutlle off that blame which, with reasonable men, can attach nowhere but upon himself, upon a third person, who, in knowledge ol the duties tube performed was doubtless Ins superior. Uut, like Mr Giddings upon the inileago question, the editor of lite Globe is tick of the subject, and in lends to have very little to do with us. Wo will lie to that. Columbus, July 31, 1H41. The special Hoard of Health, appointed by the City Council of Columbus, met agreeably to notice. 'resent G. II. Harvey, N. W. Smith, James Cher-ry, Isaac Dalton, and W. VV.

The Whig citizens of Philadelphia having tendered to the Hon. Win. H. Seward, of New York, an invito,, item to attend the celebration of the national miniver snry in that city, will) which he wns forced to decline a compliance, he addressed them the following letter, which is well worthy the perusal of all, as an admira. ble exposition of the true position of the great Whig party of tho Union ; Amu it, July 15th, 1H49. Gcnti khf.k Your letter inviting me to participate in tho celebration of the recent anniversary of Independence, by the Whig citizens of Philadelphia, was received when 1 wns so intensely engaged in professional duties at Cauamlaigua, as to previ-nt me Iruin rendering a seasonable acknowledgement. I osnnot now perform that deferred duty, without expressing my conviction o the truthfulness and justice of the views of the responsibilities uf the Whig party, whieh you have exhibited. Experience has shown, that the counsels of that party lead to domestic prosperity, while they nre imbued with national moderation and magnanimity Hut there is now opening a field of political action hitherto unexplored by parties, and measurably untrodden by statesmen The inevitable conflict between Human Slavery and the Democratic principles of Free Government, long repressed, hs broken forth at lust Tho policy of abolishing Slavery in the Federal District, and of prohibiting it in the Federal Territories, has excited a debate which pervades Ihn (f ii ion, and disturbs and tends to disorganize all existing parties and combinations Inlemperute zeal on either side of the detmte, threatens the subversion of I lie Government and the dissolution of tho Union itself. AM enlightened, sagacious and candid men, see that the period has arrived, when slavery outfit not to bo defended, nnd rnnnolbe protected by the power or influence of ttie Federal Government, as it has here, fore been protected and defended, against the legitimate couililulional efforts to confine it within the Slates, where it is sanctioned by Constitutions and laws. It is equally apparent that the withdrawal of that protection and delence will rouse the spirit of fnrt'on and sedition. What other party than the Whig party has fully adopted as its bnsis the inalienable rights of man, and is therefore so well qualified to divorce the Federal Government from slavery? What other party has so implicitly adopted the- principle of the absolute supremacy of the laws, and is therefore so well prepared to repress faction? The exigency of the limes require that the government shall combine both these principles in its action, avoid ing on the one hand any concession to slavery beyond ihe letter of the constitution, and on tho other, intemperate zeal, whieh appeals from constituted author ity to violence and sedition. it lias always seeim-u to me Hint tne twng party ihrooih its long and often diidieArtciiing trials, uas ac. quiruiL' the firmness, the consistency and the disci ptino necessary to enalile t to conduct the country safely through this its greatest emergency. 1 agree, therefore, most cordially with you in your opinion of tho importance of inculcating its principles now more lea. lounly siid energetically ihnti ever before, and rejoico tint the first pemiinent Administration which the Wing partv ha called into power, lias tullv and com pletely indicated its principles, ils wisdom and itspatriotism. 1 am, with great respect, your humble serv't, W'll.MAM II.

We supposed that them was hardly a tnt!rman in tho Slate, whatever might be his particular views, who would not feel obliged by having placed within his reach and means, tho interesting and valuable tracts on law reform, lately compiled by 'a member of the Ohio liar," and published in this city. Tho editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer speaks uf Ihu volume as follows : " A great denl of useful information may be gather ed from il, and though not concurring in the author's views, we can nevertheless sav, that tint Compilation should be in every goimemati library. The editor of the Globe, however, whose reoent exertions in the way of Itgal reform, entitle him to stand at the head of the court for the eorrution vf trror$, is very indignant at the publication, and calls the com piler very hard names.

From the Hamilton Intelligencer. TUo "Free Democracy." "And what i$ Free Democracy ?" will doubtless he the inquiry of many readers, who have not narrowly watched the shillings and changes of tho political weullier-vane, " We are familiar with the name Democracy impudently appropriated as u party designation, though belonging of right to no party, and disgraced by connexion with any in this country, where wo are all alike democrats but 1 Free Democracy' is something new." Such would be the natural conjecture, from this novel and lih-iouuding appellation, but it would be wrong. "Free Deuiouracy" is the new name for an old tiling the last color assumed by that chameleon, with whose changes we are all con versanl, and which has successively been known during Us brief existeneo by tho names of Abolitionism, Libertytsm, Free Soilim, and now " Free Democracy" taking this latest tinge nl least, like the curious animal which seems its lit emblem, from the object with which it hag most recently been in contact a contact how inglorious for both the parties to it, oucur-reoces yet fresli in memory can testify. " Free Democracy" is that parly, whose leaders, with rore'ex-ceptmii, disappointed aspirants from the ranks of the old parties, have no aim in joining another but their own individual aggrandizement that party whose masses, blinded by the xenl of I heir attachment to a noble idea, lack those practical views which would show them the impossibility of a party organized upon that idea alone obtaining any asceuduncy in Ihe government of the nation. It is that parly winch, when the divisions of the old parties had given it streuglh enough to hold the poise between their nearly-balouc ed forces, suffered ils honor and self respect to be violated and the Slate disgraced, by the open and palpable bargain nnd sale fur otlico carried on by ils leaders ! It is the party which now, instead ofrepudia ting that inquity, hardly traiixcended in wickedness by the sin against which it profi-HSes to war, sanctions and upholds it, by sunlaining its perpetrators nay, even boasts of the. advantage gamed to it by their abominable nets' What a spectacle this, to bo presented by a pnrty assuming par eirellence, to base its uciion upon moral grounds! to oppose slavery because of ils exceeding sinfulness and moral turpitude ! Even while tho eloquent denunciations of that wrong are warm upon their lips, they nre guilty of outrage the plainest principles of right and justice of corruptly triliickiug for power and selli. a the dearest rights of a free people for a few paltry offices but more inconsistent than all, in view of recent develupements, of perpetrating the most enormous fraud upon the fundamental principles of democracy, while actually contemplating the assumption of its name as a party do, ignation ! We can find no excuse for a party whose preaching differs so widely from its practice -which is so ready to Compound for sins it is inclined to, Hy damning those it has no mind to." Who has forgotten the course of the parly which was the germ of tins same Free Democracy," the Liberty party of IHtl, when by dividing the forces uf the opponents uf Texas Annexation they iu effect caused the success ot that measure, and brought upon the country the evils which followed in ils (rain? The whig occupied the same ground with reference to that question that was claimed by Ihe Liberty men of that day, and presented, ns they stilt present, the only elfentive party organization to resist the encroach uieiits of Ihe slave power. Had the Liberty party, profess-tig the sume views in Hint particular, united iu strength with the Wings, how d liferent would have been the past four years' history of our country ! Tiio hUin of a bloody war, for tho acquisition uf a territory which we did not want, and of rapacity towards a weaker nation, and sister republic, would not have rested upon us, and the day for Ihe liberation of the bondman and the removal of the reproach which has so long dimmed the glory of our country, would not have been put oil" by Ihe addition of u hundred thousand to our slave population. The same inconsistency between inolivo and action then cliaracterifed the party that has ever sinco been its prominent feature. Hut this newly renovated party slples itself tho Frrc Democrncy, implying the xisleiiceof a Slave Democ racy, w e must construe tins as an allusion to us last winter s allies in tho Lenislnlure, and to too utnlortu course of the orti'tnul " IJeinocracy with relerence to the Southern interest, until the conversion of Mr. Van Hurn by his failure to gl the nomination, last year, and the defection ot that cinet ami ins aunc rents. Tho cut is unkind, not to sav ungrateful, from men who owe so much to thn Democracy as do their 11 Free" brethren. JlnL perhaps the allusion is partly intended for Father Ritchie, who has been drumming up the South to resist Ihe encroachments of tho Whig parly upon the " peculiar institution." We leave trie settlement of this point to the two branches uf the " Democratic" family. Ihe " Free Democracy ' had a great meeting at Cleveland recently, to celebrate the anniversary ol the ordinance of 177. Uf course the chief men were present, amort Ihem Senator Chase, John Van Huron, and others, and a ureal deal of speech-making anil re solving waN transacted. The occasion was gotten up no dmibt to give moineuluiu to the somewhat stagnant cowl it inn of ihe party for stum time past. We do not think it will have much effect. A largo portion of its reflecting members begin to see the folly of keeping up a separate organization, which experience has shown to be ineffective for the ostensible object it has in view, those of Itiein who weo originally Whii;s are gradually returning to (heir old ranks, where only they see a reoHotiihic protpect of their sentiiiu-nls in regard to slavery achieving in tho end a peaceful and glorious triumph. Ihey will lei" free uemoe racy " and all similar schemes for the personal advan tsife o selliidi and disappointed politicians, die a nat ural death, and ever after remain true to tho faith that ' Ho is a freeman whom tho Truth uukes frus, And all are slaves beside."

Her, A Question Answered With a nnirttte which is quite refreshing, tho Vnion of M nday begins a long article on political taelics with the following astute question: " If there were a set ot politicians in this country 1 who had been ostracised from ofl'ic and power hy the people, on account of the odious character ol their political principles and conduct, and were desirous nf again returning to power and seizing npi u Ihe lenisla-Mtonof the country, what would be tho eourse which Mhey would bo most likely lo pursue?" The answer to this question is so plain and obvious that he who runs may read it. The course which such a party would pursue is that winch hat been pur-satU hy the ''Union ' itself, Ihe organ of precisely such a "si I of politicians'' as that ol which il has, in what was intended for a fancy sketch, drawn a portrait as life like as ever was dnguerreotyie. For four months, sore Irein defeat and rankling wilh revenge just in the degree in which its downfall was merited, ttie ptrty so accurnlely delineated has, ihr-'Ueii its organ in this city, waged against Ihe Ad-immstraii n, called into power by tho rightful voice of the ik-oplu, a warfare of rage and obloquy sui:h as only the last ox ire me of Ihe longest aud bitlrrest per. tonal opposition could practice without compunction. Bursting Irom the very outset into a denunciation tlmt knew no measure as U asaeti no cause, ii nas lorgoi-ten all the prudence as it has set si naught all the de. cenciea of a predetermined opposition, mid has luus acted, from the very beginning, as if it were eager to fix upon itself at once the character of mere Indium and fury, discredit all its un n i tlWli, and disarm ii- The Orgnnizntion of n Great Northern Party Last year, with a certain clai-a of men in the North ern States, there was no political project so strongly urged, none so strenuously advocated, as the orgaui. zillion of a GurAT NmiTimts Pahty, having Asn. Si.avkuy ns its principle, and for its object the control, for ail future time, of the govcrnoient of ihe Union. Al (hat time, there wns no concealment of the ohjecls for which the party was to he constructed. As the result of the Mexican war, tho question of the extension of slavery had assumed a consequence which I had never before possessed. It had of Itself excit-d sectional feeling to souio extent. A local faction which graduates its creed by the ambition of the great man of South Carolina, was ready on thai as on ev- ry other occasion to raise a clamor over the danger that was to accrue to Southern liberties, if any check was interposed to the unlimited extension of human servitude. These things wero seized upon by active and ambitious men at the North, and a plan was laid, by which a gigantic sectional parly was to be organ izedupon the basis of a doctrine that had already secured general assent in the North which by virtue of ils sectional operation was lo eat up and destroy the local organizations of the Northern States; and hy means of force thus accumulated, was to provide there a reservoir of power too mighty to be overthrownwhose nnliciputed result, if the plan should ho iiccenfult would bo to secure to thenon-slave-holding Stntes the Presidency, and Ihe control of tho government, as long as the Union should hold togeth-or, and confer upon Hie authors of the plan unlimited authority, perpetual ollice, and high reputation. It is nut surprising that a plan no vnt, with consequences go gigantic, should have had for its founders the unscrupulous of all parties; and for its authors, men discredited by the patties to which thy had hitherto belonged, for their ambition, selfuhuess or want of principle. It was the far seeing politician '( trade whose creed has no boundary but his own desire-that look advantage of circumstances, to build a hasty edifice, in the hope that time and subsequent accumulation, would harden it into a solid and command, uig fortress ol political power. The grand bond of union among the builders was forgiffal'nets of the past. " Let bygones be bygones," said they, ns side by sido they labored men of tho most opposite views whoa only harmony wis silence, and whoso leading wish was to gain a chance to scramble for a mighty future, by breathing no word of a pist history, which they were anxious lo bury in oblivion. For such men, the idea of a sectional parly had no terrors. They could look upon ils inevitablecouso--quences with perfect eoohies, and could solve the problem of Ms ralue of the Union with a readiness tint proved cither great familiarity with the topic or great carelessness at I ho result. They gathered around the doctrine of free soil. They carried it at once to the farthest extreme. They cried out against every other party that did not instantly abandon its own nrganizi-znlion nnd join (heirs. Willi a worn-mit pnrty President at the hend, and a band of discarded Locofoco editors nt the tail, they sat themselves up as the solo possessore of all Ihe wisdom, virtue, justice, patriotism, and humanity, that remained extant in tins wicked world. At tlip distanco of a year, it is interesting to look back upon the doings uf the Gulat NoiaHta Partv, and observe with what leal it strove, and with whft I success also, to convince thti members of nil the other parties, tlmt their doctrines Were obsolete, and that they had no principles worth c xitendiog for The Wings were told that in national as well as tu Slate mailer we had been laboring for years to secure that which was uf no value that, in fact, there was no real difference between Whigs aud Locofocos lint Ihe principles of both wero useless, and their practice corrupt that there was but one great interest worth looking after, to wit, the freedom of men, ami that the Free Soil Party had taken under its espcrisl care and protection. Then it was that this clan of broken down and worn out politicians, atrogiicd to itself the right to teach to other parties the principles of a holier and a purer political morality a science incorruptible in itself, and iinuisculate in the person of its professors. They evi n held up their own previous wrong doings as evidence of their present sanctity, and oUimed past treason as proof of the spotlesstiessol their characters Such was the origin of the ff'redl .WMfrn Party a body which had its substantive existence by virtue of the convention at HulTilo, bul which lived previously lo I hit tune in the breasts of its founders begotten by ambition upon unprincipled cunning, and seeking to perpetuate its existence hy playing upon Ihe lusts and the weaknesses of humanity. But the revolution of one year has afforded the people sn opportunity to reflect, and with reflection has dissipated every hope of success in the attempt to organize a great sectional pirly in the North. Si' oe the last Presidential election, the people of the United Stales havo been fast becoming national, nnd with their tncrenscni' nationality Ins augmented their de sire to preserve our Union, and to loot upon as dan sell o whatever strength it might have possesned, Had , ' . it but waited for Ihe m-w Administration lo old.ge tt : every attempt lo cultivate local prejudices or with some tolerable caute, ur at b-ant lor lime to sup-, ply it with some respectable excuses for animosity.

TUti President of tho Itonrd ol Public Work und his Organ, The Statesman seems to have constituted itself the apologist of thu peripatetic Head of the Board of Public Works, and on Monday, by way oi accounting f.ir his absence, charges a temporary non-residence upon several of Ihe Slate Officers, and calls upon us to answer for them what they are about, &o, Wu have neither answer nor apology. If the Officers of the State are absent from their posts goni to parts un known, leuving their duty undone, and their place of residence uusigiiified if applications to them meet with no response, and llio public interest suffers by their delinquency, let the Statesman when it is proven, work its will upon them; and the only thing we should regret in tho premises is, that the character of tlmt print for truth, is so notoriously bnd, that any animadversions which it might make upon their disregard to their duties, would bo lUo form rather than the substance of puiiisi.menl ; and would provoke their contempt, rather than contribute totlmir amendment.Yesterday, the Hend of the Board himself appears, also in (he Statesman, denies his delinquency, assorts that he has dono everything which his duly lequired, and makes a case which if true, is a pretty good one. He has been absent from the State only twenty days-has gof, married, has executed all papers that have been sent to him, Ac. Now this is all very well it may be, very true, but let us look at the othur side a moment. When E. S. Hamlin was elected President of (he Board of Public Works, tho programme of his official exploits as heralded in advance, by his organ the Statesman was an examination into llio rascality of the Whigs. He was to pry into tho dark recesses where the corruption was hidden, and bring to light their wicked acts and their still more wicked motives. Oh ! he waslo do mighty things lo avenge upon the Wings thu wrongs which they had committed in showing up Locofoco Defaulters, and stand as the MelehiBidec of a new dispensation of political piety. He filed his b ind look the oath of office and disap peared. Lucifer sunk not more rapidly or passed more entirely into outer darkness. Our attention was first called lo the absence ol this officer, by letters from other parts of the State, inquiring his place of residence, and complaining of inquiries unanswered, and applications unnoticed. In Ihe wny of business, and tu serve our friends, we made inquiry at the otlico of Ihu Hoard, and could gain no intelligence. We inquired of the friends of Mr. Hamlin in this city Ins absence aud silence wns as mysterious to them ns to us. He had failed to perform his promises of correspondence. He had neglected lo answer letters. He did not appear to be al points where he had hitherto claimed a residence. Notices of Free Soil ngilaliona contained no evidence of his presence. He no longer fl taled upon the top of ocean, sen, rivulet or puddle. From the first day of April, until Ihe day when we received a tetter from Toledo written July iilst, which suggested him as tho au-thor of certain letters to the Toledo Republican, dated at Bufl'ilo, we were unnMo to gam a word of authentic information of his residence, his presence or even his existence. But this is not all. Two months or in ire since, rumors highly injurious to the reputation of thu President of the Board reached this ci'y, in a form calculated to eicito inquiry nnd alarm. Th-y originated at Cleveland the place where it was said he resided, and were based upon what wns tlu-n considered to be his mysterious nnd unaccountable absence, nnd upon ether equally significant occurrences. Wo made no allusion to these rumors, and neither knew or cared for their truth; but they excited tho curiosity of others. An unexplained absence of nearly four months-- a charge uf erimo the silence of the individual himself actual neglect of duty nil looked like mischief. Wo instituted an inquiry, long ago. Jt met with no response. In the course of lime we made it louder; and on the 1 0th ult., the President of the Hoard of Publio Works of Ohio emerged front the limbo of obscurity in which he had hid himself, as the Bulf ilo correspondent of a Toledo newspiper. Whether he was raised by our thunder, by his own corruption, or by some other cause, moral, chemical, or political, equally potent, wo can not say. He is in esse. When does it plense him to begin his investigations into the rascality of others t For the Ohio State Joarnal. The Niilionnl Funt. When nations, hkn individuals, forget God, and go astray and commit sin, und do much evil in his sight, in wisdom and mercy he uften punishes them, by per milling the existence of wars, civil commotions, and intestine feuds and disorders. At other tiinos he man i feats his displensure and his power by famine and pestilence, fire and flood, the storm and the earth' quake or by great national calamities; the loan of liberty, universal demoralization and corruption, and fniil extinction an a nation. And when we have rea son to believe that God warns us by his providence in one of these wnys, surely it becomes such dependent creatures to humble ourselves before him and inquire wtint he will tinve us to do. On account, then, of tho pestilenco which walk th in darkness," nnd " the destruction which wnsteth nt noon day," and in scenrdance with the recommendation of our Chief Magistrate, lei us with a devout spirit go to the house of God on the day appointed, and confessing our sins, wilh true penitence, let us humbly implore his mercy, and beg that in his good ness he will turn away this plague from us, put a stop lo Ihe raging pestilence, and say to the destroying angel, " it is enough. " 1 would not be io presumptuous as to say for what particular sins, individual or national, God has sent hts judgments abroad Upon the earth ; but I would suggest some things (or which its need repentance and reformation as a community. Is it not a notorious fact that intemperance ia on the increaso in our oity f and ihat dram-shops, and eating and drinking houses are kept open on the lord's day? and Hint the vice of gambling has been more prevalent than formerly, and in open violation of the law r Does not profanity and licentiou nets go unrt buked ? Is there not altogether au iinheallliy tone and too low a standard of morals ? And above all, is there not au almost tola! disregard nnd universal desecration uf the Sabbath f How few, comparatively, of the many thousands who make up the populism of our city, regularly attend any reli gious services on tins day ! It is emphatically a har vest dny for the eating and drinking houses, the con fectionarics, and livery st.ibles. There is morn riding and driving and drinking on Ihe Sabbath ihnn on any ither three days of the week ; nnd but too often we see the children of professed Christian parents thus violating the day. Christians, especially, should examine themselves, on this occasion, and see wherein Ihey havo been neg ligent, failed, or come short of their duty. Are they by (heir walk and conversation, by (heir palronnge or inlluenee, giving aid or countenance lo any species of vice or immorality ? Let Ihem, let all indeed, repent and turn unto tho Lnrd, for he is merciful and will abundantly pardon ; he is near unto all who call upon hi in in sincerity and truth ; ' a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart he w ill not despise." "Oh Ihat men would praise llio Lord for Ins goodness, aud for Ins wonderful works to tho children of men." 1 1 July 31st, Southern (. holorn Anecdote. The Richmond Reputdicnn. in commenting upon ihe cholera, remarks Ihat at lenst five blacks dm to one white, on account nf their having less control ol their appetites, in addition to their belief that "a man's tune is fixed." It relates the following anecdote : " What is amusing oven in so serious a matter as au atlaek of the cholera, is the uniform pertinacity with which its colored subjects will deny to their medical attendants that they have eaten anything winch could make them sick. Au eminent plijrm-oinn of nur city informed us that on being raited IA a negro suddenly attack d with cholera, he asked him whether he had been eating fruit or vcgelnhlen.

POLITICAL MEN ON THE CONTINENT, FOW KMlUllAmi IN KM1I.AKD. FnANCc, April, 164!). England has long been a place nf refuge for men whom ttie vicissitudes of events have forced to quit their country ; and many political refugees of distinction are now there. A Ficnch lltriewhas published lately some inter esting accounts of these rcfuiree. 1 will give some extracts to your renders, and add information derived from other sources. Louis Philippe and Family. The ex. king Louis Philippe established himself with his family, first nt Clarenmnt, nnd now nt lUchmond. Ttie princes of Orleans live frugally, nnd even parsimoniously. As their pecuniary ull'airs are not yet arranged iu France, they are poor: and I believe they wish to appear poorer than they are. Five or sil domestics constitute alt their retinue. They keep no carriages nor horses. When they go to nines, they tnro a coach. Their repasts are extremely frugal ; they drink beer ut dinner, nnd wine is an object of luxury sciipulousty reserved for the dessert. The same economy is observed in everything. The princesses nre clothed like the daughters of small English merchants ; thev do not wear silks, nor laces, nor jewels. What a diil' rence between this humble condition and the brilliant life of Ihe Tuillerienl What a lesson for the great ones of the earth ! Louis Philip might obtain pecuniary aid from the English government, if he wished ; but an honorable susceptibility keeps him from this step. The Orleans family receive few visits. Some sd-venturers tried to otter, at Claremonl, plans nf restoration ; but they were not well received. Tho head of the house has the good sense to know Ihat his part is ended, and he is afraid of injuring the prospects of his children, by taking part in plots which would be all fruitless. The pet rs and other English lords, go rarely to Clnremont ; they understand thnt they can do nothing tu console so great a mis-fortune.According to the report of travelers, his retirement is very irksome lo l,ouis Philippe. He was very active in the palace nf the Tuilleriea ; he meddled in all affairs of administration ; he even found leisure to wrile memoirs of his reign ; and now h has nothing, or almost nothing, to dot Part of his tune is spent in reading English, French, and German newspapers. Then ho seeks for some one wilh whom to converse; for ho ia talkative, and loves to tell all thnt he thinks and does. . This loquacity does not dimmish with years, nor with his misfortunes; on the contrary, it increases, and is become a rath-er troublesome propensity. The ex-king does not wait for your reply ; he engrosses all (ho conversation.His fnvnrilo subject is to explain the events of his reign He prides himself lunch upon having never violated the laws. " Charles X. fell," he snys, " be cause he had done what was illegal ; and I, because I always respected ihe laws." Ho does not reproach himself for having refused the reforms claim, ed by the radiea's ; for he believes that if he find granted them, he would have been overthrow)) the sooner. Ho thinks that the restoration of the throne is impossible in France. His self lore is flittered with the idea that no one can occupy the place which he has lust. Louis Philippe preserves his clear mind and perspicuous political views. Ho judges men and things with shrewdness, but sometimes also, (winch is pardonable in Ins situation,) with a litile acrimony. He professes to rejrnrd M de Lnmarlme as Ihe flimsiest and feeblest of politicians, lie nltirms that General Cavuignao has only second rale military talenis, and lacks aptness for government. When in good humor, h laughs nt the odd pretensions of the republicans, Marraal, Flocon, and others, who held fur aomo time the reins of government. Maria Amelia, The Queen Maria JmUnt is more calm and mora serious. This Neapolitan princess showed at the mo. menl of misfortune, more presence of mind than Louis Philippe. She appears somewhat haughty. Her words are few and short. She seems absorbed in thought, and her feeble constitution contributes per. haps to irritate her mind. Maria Amelia was very bigoted on Ihe throno. She advised the wicked expedition anninsl Otahrite. The priests hnd persuaded her, thai the death of her eldest son, thu duko of Orleans, wns a chastisement from God, because he had married a proleslant wife. In exile, Maria Amelia continues to pracliee scrupulous, ly her devotions. She never neglects to attend Mnss, and her confessor is nu important person in her view. Let us respect the rclnrioiis creeds and acts of this unfortunate princess Her superstitions nre the effect of her education. Having been brought up in Naples, under the inllueiioe of Jesuits, she fins never known Ihe true Gospel. If she has committed faults, she has nlso displayed interesting qualities. Maris Amelia wan oharitnbtein her prosperous days ; Ihe poor blessed her memory, and she preserved in the corrupt at Unisphere of courts entire purity of ummla. DAa ds Ntmtnirt. Three priners reside wilh their father ; ttie duke de Nemours, dult d' .'hnnule, and prince d Jointtlle -m Their characters are quite diveitie ! The ilnkede Ne. niours is cold and incilurn ; ho reiemldes Ins ruotln When ho sat upon the steps of ihe throw, he was not' popular with Ihe people nor wilh ttie army, His mi. dress was hauuluy, his air disdainful, Ins word repulsive. He affected to regard Ins father's crown as nu evil rather than a good, lie was llio legitimise of the family. Some scandalous nilventuret lurtlier contributed to render him unpopular, and I believe Ihat aversion In him was Ihe chief cause of the establishment of the Republic alter the abdication of Louis Philippe. If he had possessed (tic confidence and affection of tho citizens and soldiers, he would have been proclaimed regent without difliculty. Duke d' Jiumale. The duke d' Aumale is the most nminble nriuee of the family. Ho is fond of books, study, and the labors of ntfice. His disappointments havo not dm- heartened him : ha nr-mra tfn.Ht ere ii it v ol loool. The duke d' Auuinle ia made for domestic life. He has not perhaps fgreat talents as a military mun or a statesman ; but he possesses qualities to make him happy in private life. Prince de Joinrille. As lo the prince de Joinville, he is an enterprising, restless youth, of feverish anxieiv. He m admiral of the French navy, and gratified his curiosity by vis- mug iiip iour quarters ui tne glolie. the repose ot Claremonl is intolerable to him He forms everv dnv a thousand plans. Sometimes he proposes to oiler Ins services to the United States in Ins quality of sailor; sometimes ho thinks of form in g a largo agriculHi- rai esmoirntiinent. 1 fie prince de Joinville will end, to all appearance, by going to Brazil. His wife is sis. ler uf the emperor of that country, and she has received as a dowry a Urge tract of territory. 1 speak not of the duke de Montpensier, who is in Spain, nor of ihe duchess a" Orleant, who lives in Germany with her two sons. She avails herself of the opportunity to separate herself from the royal family. As a protestant, she suffers much. The duchess d' Orleans is a pious, intelligent woman of an admirable character. She displayed in the Revolution of February a manly courntje. Now she bears nobly the weight of adversity and exile. God has not willed that she should become queen of France. Wo bow before his ways, which are not our ways. Mr. Gunot. To come to other political emigrants. Mr. (iuiiol is at Brompton, a suburb of Loudon, in a small house, amidst English books which he studies all his leisure moments, tmle is less irksome lo nim loan to ins colleagues. As a proleslant and also as a friend lo British institutions, Mr. Guizot finds on ttie other side of the Strait a congenial country. Members of par liament, literary men, men or science, editors, give him the most flattering reception. He has extensive intercourse with the first society, and his opinions nto always listened to wilh respect. When he wns am. bassador from France in Loudon, he might believe, and his enemies say, that the respect he received wns paid to him as the representative of a great nation; but now, when he is stnpt of all his honors, when he has no titles or fortune, il is Ins person, it is himself that the English surround with marked attention. Is not tins something to console the illustrious exile in all his misfortunes. He toils hard in his study. When in Prance, he had been composing from twenty lo twenty. five years a history of Cromwell. Now, having at his disposal many new and original documents, he has bejfun ngntu this historical work, with Hie design of relating all the events of the English republic. This will be nu inteiesting production, and fruitful in valuable information for the present age. Mr. Guizot has preserved in Ins full his old political opinions, lie does not love democracy, at icusi pure democracy. He would establish a balance of influ- nee nnd of power between the lower classes and Ihe ui'ddle classes of ttie people. He does not dread lib- rly ; perhaps he is even more liberal al heart than some radiculs: but he wishes a liberty tempered by the nristocrntic element. 1 doubt if Mr. Guizot's no-lions will become popular in our country. The French prize above all the principles of equality, aud will not consent lo sacrifice it at any price. Mr. Duchnttl. Another exiled statesman, Mr. Duchotel, has also fixed Ins residence in London. He was Minister of the Interior under Lnuis Philippe. He appears much lens resigned limn Mr. Guizot to his fall He accuses the republicans nf ingratitude and of folly, saying that ihey will not succeed in founding n regular government. Mr. Duchalel never showed great cnpncily iu ttie discharge of his duties. He did not hesitate to resort to fraud nnd corruption to support the cnbinet to which lie belonged. His absence lias tell no void in France, and he may remain as lung as he pleases in England. Louis Blanc. The emigrants, Messrs. Louis Mane and Caussidiere were driven to London under other circumstances- They were Ihe leaders of demagogues and socialists. They fled from the indignation of public opinion nf ler the days of June; awl they would even have been summoned before the court as accomplices in s conspiracy agiinst llio Inws, if Ihey had not prudently soul' lit shelter on a foreiiMi shore. Mr. Louis Blanc excited some sensation, when In-first came to Loudon The chartists and Hie cockney of the British metropolis decreed linn a sort of ovation The good merchants of the city were curious to si e a socialist, who had acquired so much renown in Pans Bul this first movemrnt of curiosity is sll over Mr Louis Blanc is too fickle nnd extravagant in his opinions for ttie Anglo Saxon race. He leads now a recluse life, toiling hard, writing a host ol petty pamphh l in the French language, and keeping up an sctive correspondence with Ins friends in Paris, who do not despair of seeing him, one dny, at ttie head ot our Re public. Mr. Caustidirre. ttr. Caussidiere wns prefect of police; he is a Her cutes in stature. He has an enormous beard, which scandalizes the smooth faced policemen, and he re in ins the coarse manners of a Invetn haunier. Mr Caussidiere adopted a singular method of producing ns lie said, order by disorder. He assembled the most turbulent persons, ttie worst men of Paris, cnnfidug to them the task of preserving the public peace, alt i the revolution of 148 You may judge how the task was performed. These strange ngents of his organized clubs, formed plots, frightened peaceable cilnens, disturbed all the branches of administration, unlit at last the pnvernment dismissed Mr. Caussidiere from his office uf prefect of police. This demagogue pases tiis time in writing memoirs which will coulain doubt less interesting anecdotes. Princs ds .U'fOrntrA. Frnm Mr. Cnussidiere to Prince de Metterntch ihe transition is rattier abrupt They are the twoextremes of the political scale. As the one is unbridled in his radicalism, the oluer in tixed in ri(saisniiiiisin rvir. de Metternich, as you know, was forced to quit Vienna to escape the vengeance of a victorious pcpnlsce. It was hard for a man who, for more than forty years, hod governed the Austrian monarchy, and who prided himself upon being the most eminent diplomatist of Europe. The whole edifice which he had raised with so much care fell in one dny, slid he went into exile, followed by the public execrations. But he has not lost all. Owning an immense fortune, and protected by his reputation, the prince de Metternich still plays a distinguished part in London He has received the visils of all the English peers. The persons who belong to high life choose his hotel in Eaton square for a place ot pilgrimage, and regard it as a favor In pass some hours with the German diplomatist. The duae of Wellington goes often to converse with turn. Lord Palmersion himselfshowsspec ial attentions lo Mr. de Metternich, and asks his advice on ttie political affairs of Europe ; his banishment is thus a triumph rather than a fall. From his retreat, me prince ue niettermcii still di rects the court of Austria. The new emperor Francis Joseidt, docs nothing important without first consulting the wily diplomatist, and the nar Nicholas corresponds with l.im by frequent lellers. These marks of confidence give io .iir.ue .m'tiernicn great importance. He preserves his pride and his arrogance, and loves to talk like an oracle, veiling from his hearers the secrets which ho sees in the future. The late events have not stall changed his opinions. He is an absolutist, as before, and you may he sure that lie will dio in his political faith. He despises utterly ttie democrats, and maintains tlmt Ihe revolutions of the European continent aru madnesus, follies winch will alf ird lessons to kings, lie blames princes for llieir weakness, because they heed Ihe wishes of the people, tie even reproaches Pius IX. for lending aft ear to the applauses of the liberals. Prince de M- It' r nich believes that, after brief convulsions, Europe will be happy to return under the double yoke of legitimiey and theocracy. With him, royal and priestly despotism is the perfection of governments, tie rejects not only the revolution of 178'.) i bul also the Ref ormation of the sixteenth century, and waits for the day wli- n the world shall return to the institutions of the dark ages, t hope ho will wait a good while. Count rfs Montemottn. The last political emigrnnt.who makes some figure in London rather by his birth tliau by Ins personal qua! ilies, is tho Count fit Montemotin Son of don Charles, he botieves himself lo bo the legitimate heir of tin. Spanish crown. But while his adherents, under the impulse nf fanatical priests, shod their blond for Ins cause, this pour pretender displays his incapacity in tho aristocratic parlors ut Lnglnnd. uount de ftion-ternolin has a mild and benevolent disposition, according to the testimony of his friends ; but he has none of the faculties which would render him capable of recov ering the throne of h'S fathers. He has peen trained tiy Jesuits, awl retains (lie ueep marns or mis aeo using location, He has neither tlrmness-oi chnrncier m-r largeness of views, and the obscurity ul private life suits perfectly his moderate talents. X. StzK ok AN Anuxl. Bishop Pureed of Cincinnati ordered two statutes representing kneeling Angels, of the natural size of Mr- Powers, which were lobe nccnmpnuimenls of (he altar of ihe Cathedral lecenl lv erected in thnt city. Powers wrote back to Hie A Bishop that he had never seen an angel, and did not know what tho natural size wns. I pon tins me irsu-op referred him to Rev. XXL 17, for his measure, ments.

Since our rcHrt yesterday, wo have heard of the following cnses of cholera in the city, which havo tvr-lliiualed f(i tally : IV til una tinnier, (brother of George Engler, whose di'ntli wan announced on Monday evening,) a German, residing on Boutli street, between Filth and Sixth. William Cook, (I'm her of Thoi Cook, whose death was announced on Saturday,) residence on Town, between Filth and Sixth street. The ralurrd person, (corner of Town and Third streets,) alluded to- yeslerdajy died in the afternoon, making the liltli doaih in tint nest. Arrangements, we understand, are made for removing the balance to aoine other place. One or two families in the vicinity abandoned their homes yesterday, literally expelled by the dangerous and offensive condition of the premises. ' WJiuso duty is it to abate such nuisances ? W are gratified that the City Council have taken if in liAinl to reorganize a It ard of Heallh; and that men every way suited to (he duty, have been placed upon that Hoard. Wo may now expectsH and accurate reports, which we believe will tend very much to do away the impression now generally prevailing, that a moat destructive pestilence is now raging in the city. Such has at no time been the fact though there has been present among us for five or six weeks past a dis ease fearful for its mystery and for the sudden fulality ol its demonstrations. Up to yesterday there had been no perceptible abatement of that disease. And while wo luvo faih-d to discern any good cause for multitudes of our citizens abandoning their homes on account of I ho sickness which they apprehended, we would not couiiKel those who have so gone to return, until health shall be more generally restored. The same timidity which induced their flight, might possibly be the very means of danger to them, should they return while the disease ao much dreaded lingers a-inong us.J We hear of no new eases to-day. The Iiiconijiolciit Clerk nad hit Two Volumes j of Wanders. Stanley Mathews, the worthy firstling of that coa. : lition whoxe munition it was to lay an unclean thing ! in every place ot which it could gain llio control, ! and who made au ungeiitleninnly attempt to throw ! tho burden of his own blunders and incompetency upon others, seems to take it in hiyh dudgeon ; because we do not see fit to release him from that responsibility which, an an officer he nssiuued, and which he cannot throw oil', however uneasily it may lit upon him. In regard toullicial responsibility for the correctness of the record of the proceedings of the House of ilep-resoutatives, the law of the Slate knows but one o Ulcer, and that oilicer is the Cm;kk or tiik House. That he may have pergonal knowledge of the contents of the record, it is provided ihut it shall be read, in the presence of the House ; and that there may be an officer responsible for its nccuracy, it is provided that after being read, " it shall be attested by the clerk ;" the clerk is to furnish the Slate Printer with a certified copy ; his duty is to edit, and superintend the publication of the journal, and lor all tins he has a right to claim and receive a remuneration. Now, it Stanley Mathews performed this duty according to law, who is responsible for the gramoiati-eat errors and blunders with which the two to'iuiues of errata crammed ? He read the journal every morningis his grammatical apprehension so slow that he did not observe in the manuscript those disfigurement of language which became obvious to huu through the medium of a printed copy ? When the record came under his eye, in the nailing ; when it was ex amiued for the purpose of atttstutiun; when lie eertiji ed to the copy delivered to the State printer; when he nas residing in this city to edit the journal and read the proof had he no calling then to rectify tin-errorn,iiiily tin omissions and correct tho patois ol his subordinates? The truth is, he did not know m duty, and had no disposition In learn it. His gram tnatical productions all went to swell the columns of tho Cin:nnnit( (jt')be, whit he cared as little about the truth of the record which, as a tworn officer, it was Ins duty to make, as bo did about the verucity of his communications to that most exemplary periodical. If lis hud been less of the man about town," and more of tho public servant, ho would not have found it iiecesHury to tell h falsehood in order to shutlle off that blame which, with reasonable men, can attach nowhere but upon himself, upon a third person, who, in knowledge ol the duties tube performed was doubtless Ins superior. Uut, like Mr Giddings upon the inileago question, the editor of lite Globe is tick of the subject, and in lends to have very little to do with us. Wo will lie to that. Columbus, July 31, 1H41.

The Whig citizens of Philadelphia having tendered to the Hon. Win. H. Seward, of New York, an invito,, item to attend the celebration of the national miniver snry in that city, will) which he wns forced to decline a compliance, he addressed them the following letter, which is well worthy the perusal of all, as an admira. ble exposition of the true position of the great Whig party of tho Union ; Amu it, July 15th, 1H49. Gcnti khf.k Your letter inviting me to participate in tho celebration of the recent anniversary of Independence, by the Whig citizens of Philadelphia, was received when 1 wns so intensely engaged in professional duties at Cauamlaigua, as to previ-nt me Iruin rendering a seasonable acknowledgement. I osnnot now perform that deferred duty, without expressing my conviction o the truthfulness and justice of the views of the responsibilities uf the Whig party, whieh you have exhibited. Experience has shown, that the counsels of that party lead to domestic prosperity, while they nre imbued with national moderation and magnanimity Hut there is now opening a field of political action hitherto unexplored by parties, and measurably untrodden by statesmen The inevitable conflict between Human Slavery and the Democratic principles of Free Government, long repressed, hs broken forth at lust Tho policy of abolishing Slavery in the Federal District, and of prohibiting it in the Federal Territories, has excited a debate which pervades Ihn (f ii ion, and disturbs and tends to disorganize all existing parties and combinations Inlemperute zeal on either side of the detmte, threatens the subversion of I lie Government and the dissolution of tho Union itself. AM enlightened, sagacious and candid men, see that the period has arrived, when slavery outfit not to bo defended, nnd rnnnolbe protected by the power or influence of ttie Federal Government, as it has here, fore been protected and defended, against the legitimate couililulional efforts to confine it within the Slates, where it is sanctioned by Constitutions and laws. It is equally apparent that the withdrawal of that protection and delence will rouse the spirit of fnrt'on and sedition. What other party than the Whig party has fully adopted as its bnsis the inalienable rights of man, and is therefore so well qualified to divorce the Federal Government from slavery? What other party has so implicitly adopted the- principle of the absolute supremacy of the laws, and is therefore so well prepared to repress faction? The exigency of the limes require that the government shall combine both these principles in its action, avoid ing on the one hand any concession to slavery beyond ihe letter of the constitution, and on tho other, intemperate zeal, whieh appeals from constituted author ity to violence and sedition. it lias always seeim-u to me Hint tne twng party ihrooih its long and often diidieArtciiing trials, uas ac. quiruiL' the firmness, the consistency and the disci ptino necessary to enalile t to conduct the country safely through this its greatest emergency. 1 agree, therefore, most cordially with you in your opinion of tho importance of inculcating its principles now more lea. lounly siid energetically ihnti ever before, and rejoico tint the first pemiinent Administration which the Wing partv ha called into power, lias tullv and com pletely indicated its principles, ils wisdom and itspatriotism. 1 am, with great respect, your humble serv't, W'll.MAM II.

From the Hamilton Intelligencer. TUo "Free Democracy." "And what i$ Free Democracy ?" will doubtless he the inquiry of many readers, who have not narrowly watched the shillings and changes of tho political weullier-vane, " We are familiar with the name Democracy impudently appropriated as u party designation, though belonging of right to no party, and disgraced by connexion with any in this country, where wo are all alike democrats but 1 Free Democracy' is something new." Such would be the natural conjecture, from this novel and lih-iouuding appellation, but it would be wrong. "Free Deuiouracy" is the new name for an old tiling the last color assumed by that chameleon, with whose changes we are all con versanl, and which has successively been known during Us brief existeneo by tho names of Abolitionism, Libertytsm, Free Soilim, and now " Free Democracy" taking this latest tinge nl least, like the curious animal which seems its lit emblem, from the object with which it hag most recently been in contact a contact how inglorious for both the parties to it, oucur-reoces yet fresli in memory can testify. " Free Democracy" is that parly, whose leaders, with rore'ex-ceptmii, disappointed aspirants from the ranks of the old parties, have no aim in joining another but their own individual aggrandizement that party whose masses, blinded by the xenl of I heir attachment to a noble idea, lack those practical views which would show them the impossibility of a party organized upon that idea alone obtaining any asceuduncy in Ihe government of the nation. It is that parly winch, when the divisions of the old parties had given it streuglh enough to hold the poise between their nearly-balouc ed forces, suffered ils honor and self respect to be violated and the Slate disgraced, by the open and palpable bargain nnd sale fur otlico carried on by ils leaders ! It is the party which now, instead ofrepudia ting that inquity, hardly traiixcended in wickedness by the sin against which it profi-HSes to war, sanctions and upholds it, by sunlaining its perpetrators nay, even boasts of the. advantage gamed to it by their abominable nets' What a spectacle this, to bo presented by a pnrty assuming par eirellence, to base its uciion upon moral grounds! to oppose slavery because of ils exceeding sinfulness and moral turpitude ! Even while tho eloquent denunciations of that wrong are warm upon their lips, they nre guilty of outrage the plainest principles of right and justice of corruptly triliickiug for power and selli. a the dearest rights of a free people for a few paltry offices but more inconsistent than all, in view of recent develupements, of perpetrating the most enormous fraud upon the fundamental principles of democracy, while actually contemplating the assumption of its name as a party do, ignation ! We can find no excuse for a party whose preaching differs so widely from its practice -which is so ready to Compound for sins it is inclined to, Hy damning those it has no mind to." Who has forgotten the course of the parly which was the germ of tins same Free Democracy," the Liberty party of IHtl, when by dividing the forces uf the opponents uf Texas Annexation they iu effect caused the success ot that measure, and brought upon the country the evils which followed in ils (rain? The whig occupied the same ground with reference to that question that was claimed by Ihe Liberty men of that day, and presented, ns they stilt present, the only elfentive party organization to resist the encroach uieiits of Ihe slave power. Had the Liberty party, profess-tig the sume views in Hint particular, united iu strength with the Wings, how d liferent would have been the past four years' history of our country ! Tiio hUin of a bloody war, for tho acquisition uf a territory which we did not want, and of rapacity towards a weaker nation, and sister republic, would not have rested upon us, and the day for Ihe liberation of the bondman and the removal of the reproach which has so long dimmed the glory of our country, would not have been put oil" by Ihe addition of u hundred thousand to our slave population. The same inconsistency between inolivo and action then cliaracterifed the party that has ever sinco been its prominent feature. Hut this newly renovated party slples itself tho Frrc Democrncy, implying the xisleiiceof a Slave Democ racy, w e must construe tins as an allusion to us last winter s allies in tho Lenislnlure, and to too utnlortu course of the orti'tnul " IJeinocracy with relerence to the Southern interest, until the conversion of Mr. Van Hurn by his failure to gl the nomination, last year, and the defection ot that cinet ami ins aunc rents. Tho cut is unkind, not to sav ungrateful, from men who owe so much to thn Democracy as do their 11 Free" brethren. JlnL perhaps the allusion is partly intended for Father Ritchie, who has been drumming up the South to resist Ihe encroachments of tho Whig parly upon the " peculiar institution." We leave trie settlement of this point to the two branches uf the " Democratic" family. Ihe " Free Democracy ' had a great meeting at Cleveland recently, to celebrate the anniversary ol the ordinance of 177. Uf course the chief men were present, amort Ihem Senator Chase, John Van Huron, and others, and a ureal deal of speech-making anil re solving waN transacted. The occasion was gotten up no dmibt to give moineuluiu to the somewhat stagnant cowl it inn of ihe party for stum time past. We do not think it will have much effect. A largo portion of its reflecting members begin to see the folly of keeping up a separate organization, which experience has shown to be ineffective for the ostensible object it has in view, those of Itiein who weo originally Whii;s are gradually returning to (heir old ranks, where only they see a reoHotiihic protpect of their sentiiiu-nls in regard to slavery achieving in tho end a peaceful and glorious triumph. Ihey will lei" free uemoe racy " and all similar schemes for the personal advan tsife o selliidi and disappointed politicians, die a nat ural death, and ever after remain true to tho faith that ' Ho is a freeman whom tho Truth uukes frus, And all are slaves beside."

Her, A Question Answered With a nnirttte which is quite refreshing, tho Vnion of M nday begins a long article on political taelics with the following astute question: " If there were a set ot politicians in this country 1 who had been ostracised from ofl'ic and power hy the people, on account of the odious character ol their political principles and conduct, and were desirous nf again returning to power and seizing npi u Ihe lenisla-Mtonof the country, what would be tho eourse which Mhey would bo most likely lo pursue?" The answer to this question is so plain and obvious that he who runs may read it. The course which such a party would pursue is that winch hat been pur-satU hy the ''Union ' itself, Ihe organ of precisely such a "si I of politicians'' as that ol which il has, in what was intended for a fancy sketch, drawn a portrait as life like as ever was dnguerreotyie.

Bursting Irom the very outset into a denunciation tlmt knew no measure as U asaeti no cause, ii nas lorgoi-ten all the prudence as it has set si naught all the de. cenciea of a predetermined opposition, mid has luus acted, from the very beginning, as if it were eager to fix upon itself at once the character of mere Indium and fury, discredit all its un n i tlWli, and disarm ii- The Orgnnizntion of n Great Northern Party Last year, with a certain clai-a of men in the North ern States, there was no political project so strongly urged, none so strenuously advocated, as the orgaui. zillion of a GurAT NmiTimts Pahty, having Asn. Si.avkuy ns its principle, and for its object the control, for ail future time, of the govcrnoient of ihe Union. Al (hat time, there wns no concealment of the ohjecls for which the party was to he constructed. As the result of the Mexican war, tho question of the extension of slavery had assumed a consequence which I had never before possessed. It had of Itself excit-d sectional feeling to souio extent. A local faction which graduates its creed by the ambition of the great man of South Carolina, was ready on thai as on ev- ry other occasion to raise a clamor over the danger that was to accrue to Southern liberties, if any check was interposed to the unlimited extension of human servitude. These things wero seized upon by active and ambitious men at the North, and a plan was laid, by which a gigantic sectional parly was to be organ izedupon the basis of a doctrine that had already secured general assent in the North which by virtue of ils sectional operation was lo eat up and destroy the local organizations of the Northern States; and hy means of force thus accumulated, was to provide there a reservoir of power too mighty to be overthrownwhose nnliciputed result, if the plan should ho iiccenfult would bo to secure to thenon-slave-holding Stntes the Presidency, and Ihe control of tho government, as long as the Union should hold togeth-or, and confer upon Hie authors of the plan unlimited authority, perpetual ollice, and high reputation. It is nut surprising that a plan no vnt, with consequences go gigantic, should have had for its founders the unscrupulous of all parties; and for its authors, men discredited by the patties to which thy had hitherto belonged, for their ambition, selfuhuess or want of principle. It was the far seeing politician '( trade whose creed has no boundary but his own desire-that look advantage of circumstances, to build a hasty edifice, in the hope that time and subsequent accumulation, would harden it into a solid and command, uig fortress ol political power. The grand bond of union among the builders was forgiffal'nets of the past. " Let bygones be bygones," said they, ns side by sido they labored men of tho most opposite views whoa only harmony wis silence, and whoso leading wish was to gain a chance to scramble for a mighty future, by breathing no word of a pist history, which they were anxious lo bury in oblivion. For such men, the idea of a sectional parly had no terrors. They could look upon ils inevitablecouso--quences with perfect eoohies, and could solve the problem of Ms ralue of the Union with a readiness tint proved cither great familiarity with the topic or great carelessness at I ho result. They gathered around the doctrine of free soil. They carried it at once to the farthest extreme. They cried out against every other party that did not instantly abandon its own nrganizi-znlion nnd join (heirs. Willi a worn-mit pnrty President at the hend, and a band of discarded Locofoco editors nt the tail, they sat themselves up as the solo possessore of all Ihe wisdom, virtue, justice, patriotism, and humanity, that remained extant in tins wicked world. At tlip distanco of a year, it is interesting to look back upon the doings uf the Gulat NoiaHta Partv, and observe with what leal it strove, and with whft I success also, to convince thti members of nil the other parties, tlmt their doctrines Were obsolete, and that they had no principles worth c xitendiog for The Wings were told that in national as well as tu Slate mailer we had been laboring for years to secure that which was uf no value that, in fact, there was no real difference between Whigs aud Locofocos lint Ihe principles of both wero useless, and their practice corrupt that there was but one great interest worth looking after, to wit, the freedom of men, ami that the Free Soil Party had taken under its espcrisl care and protection. Then it was that this clan of broken down and worn out politicians, atrogiicd to itself the right to teach to other parties the principles of a holier and a purer political morality a science incorruptible in itself, and iinuisculate in the person of its professors. They evi n held up their own previous wrong doings as evidence of their present sanctity, and oUimed past treason as proof of the spotlesstiessol their characters Such was the origin of the ff'redl .WMfrn Party a body which had its substantive existence by virtue of the convention at HulTilo, bul which lived previously lo I hit tune in the breasts of its founders begotten by ambition upon unprincipled cunning, and seeking to perpetuate its existence hy playing upon Ihe lusts and the weaknesses of humanity. But the revolution of one year has afforded the people sn opportunity to reflect, and with reflection has dissipated every hope of success in the attempt to organize a great sectional pirly in the North. Si' oe the last Presidential election, the people of the United Stales havo been fast becoming national, nnd with their tncrenscni' nationality Ins augmented their de sire to preserve our Union, and to loot upon as dan sell o whatever strength it might have possesned, Had , ' . it but waited for Ihe m-w Administration lo old.ge tt : every attempt lo cultivate local prejudices or with some tolerable caute, ur at b-ant lor lime to sup-, ply it with some respectable excuses for animosity.

TUti President of tho Itonrd ol Public Work und his Organ, The Statesman seems to have constituted itself the apologist of thu peripatetic Head of the Board of Public Works, and on Monday, by way oi accounting f.ir his absence, charges a temporary non-residence upon several of Ihe Slate Officers, and calls upon us to answer for them what they are about, &o, Wu have neither answer nor apology. If the Officers of the State are absent from their posts goni to parts un known, leuving their duty undone, and their place of residence uusigiiified if applications to them meet with no response, and llio public interest suffers by their delinquency, let the Statesman when it is proven, work its will upon them; and the only thing we should regret in tho premises is, that the character of tlmt print for truth, is so notoriously bnd, that any animadversions which it might make upon their disregard to their duties, would bo lUo form rather than the substance of puiiisi.menl ; and would provoke their contempt, rather than contribute totlmir amendment.Yesterday, the Hend of the Board himself appears, also in (he Statesman, denies his delinquency, assorts that he has dono everything which his duly lequired, and makes a case which if true, is a pretty good one. He has been absent from the State only twenty days-has gof, married, has executed all papers that have been sent to him, Ac. Now this is all very well it may be, very true, but let us look at the othur side a moment. When E. S. Hamlin was elected President of (he Board of Public Works, tho programme of his official exploits as heralded in advance, by his organ the Statesman was an examination into llio rascality of the Whigs. He was to pry into tho dark recesses where the corruption was hidden, and bring to light their wicked acts and their still more wicked motives. Oh ! he waslo do mighty things lo avenge upon the Wings thu wrongs which they had committed in showing up Locofoco Defaulters, and stand as the MelehiBidec of a new dispensation of political piety. He filed his b ind look the oath of office and disap peared. Lucifer sunk not more rapidly or passed more entirely into outer darkness. Our attention was first called lo the absence ol this officer, by letters from other parts of the State, inquiring his place of residence, and complaining of inquiries unanswered, and applications unnoticed. In Ihe wny of business, and tu serve our friends, we made inquiry at the otlico of Ihu Hoard, and could gain no intelligence. We inquired of the friends of Mr. Hamlin in this city Ins absence aud silence wns as mysterious to them ns to us. He had failed to perform his promises of correspondence. He had neglected lo answer letters. He did not appear to be al points where he had hitherto claimed a residence. Notices of Free Soil ngilaliona contained no evidence of his presence. He no longer fl taled upon the top of ocean, sen, rivulet or puddle. From the first day of April, until Ihe day when we received a tetter from Toledo written July iilst, which suggested him as tho au-thor of certain letters to the Toledo Republican, dated at Bufl'ilo, we were unnMo to gam a word of authentic information of his residence, his presence or even his existence. But this is not all. Two months or in ire since, rumors highly injurious to the reputation of thu President of the Board reached this ci'y, in a form calculated to eicito inquiry nnd alarm. Th-y originated at Cleveland the place where it was said he resided, and were based upon what wns tlu-n considered to be his mysterious nnd unaccountable absence, nnd upon ether equally significant occurrences. Wo made no allusion to these rumors, and neither knew or cared for their truth; but they excited tho curiosity of others. An unexplained absence of nearly four months-- a charge uf erimo the silence of the individual himself actual neglect of duty nil looked like mischief. Wo instituted an inquiry, long ago. Jt met with no response. In the course of lime we made it louder; and on the 1 0th ult., the President of the Hoard of Publio Works of Ohio emerged front the limbo of obscurity in which he had hid himself, as the Bulf ilo correspondent of a Toledo newspiper. Whether he was raised by our thunder, by his own corruption, or by some other cause, moral, chemical, or political, equally potent, wo can not say. He is in esse. When does it plense him to begin his investigations into the rascality of others t For the Ohio State Joarnal. The Niilionnl Funt. When nations, hkn individuals, forget God, and go astray and commit sin, und do much evil in his sight, in wisdom and mercy he uften punishes them, by per milling the existence of wars, civil commotions, and intestine feuds and disorders. At other tiinos he man i feats his displensure and his power by famine and pestilence, fire and flood, the storm and the earth' quake or by great national calamities; the loan of liberty, universal demoralization and corruption, and fniil extinction an a nation. And when we have rea son to believe that God warns us by his providence in one of these wnys, surely it becomes such dependent creatures to humble ourselves before him and inquire wtint he will tinve us to do. On account, then, of tho pestilenco which walk th in darkness," nnd " the destruction which wnsteth nt noon day," and in scenrdance with the recommendation of our Chief Magistrate, lei us with a devout spirit go to the house of God on the day appointed, and confessing our sins, wilh true penitence, let us humbly implore his mercy, and beg that in his good ness he will turn away this plague from us, put a stop lo Ihe raging pestilence, and say to the destroying angel, " it is enough. " 1 would not be io presumptuous as to say for what particular sins, individual or national, God has sent hts judgments abroad Upon the earth ; but I would suggest some things (or which its need repentance and reformation as a community. Is it not a notorious fact that intemperance ia on the increaso in our oity f and ihat dram-shops, and eating and drinking houses are kept open on the lord's day? and Hint the vice of gambling has been more prevalent than formerly, and in open violation of the law r Does not profanity and licentiou nets go unrt buked ? Is there not altogether au iinheallliy tone and too low a standard of morals ? And above all, is there not au almost tola! disregard nnd universal desecration uf the Sabbath f How few, comparatively, of the many thousands who make up the populism of our city, regularly attend any reli gious services on tins day ! It is emphatically a har vest dny for the eating and drinking houses, the con fectionarics, and livery st.ibles. There is morn riding and driving and drinking on Ihe Sabbath ihnn on any ither three days of the week ; nnd but too often we see the children of professed Christian parents thus violating the day. Christians, especially, should examine themselves, on this occasion, and see wherein Ihey havo been neg ligent, failed, or come short of their duty. Are they by (heir walk and conversation, by (heir palronnge or inlluenee, giving aid or countenance lo any species of vice or immorality ? Let Ihem, let all indeed, repent and turn unto tho Lnrd, for he is merciful and will abundantly pardon ; he is near unto all who call upon hi in in sincerity and truth ; ' a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite heart he w ill not despise." "Oh Ihat men would praise llio Lord for Ins goodness, aud for Ins wonderful works to tho children of men." 1 1 July 31st, Southern (. holorn Anecdote.

POLITICAL MEN ON THE CONTINENT, FOW KMlUllAmi IN KM1I.AKD. FnANCc, April, 164!). England has long been a place nf refuge for men whom ttie vicissitudes of events have forced to quit their country ; and many political refugees of distinction are now there. A Ficnch lltriewhas published lately some inter esting accounts of these rcfuiree. 1 will give some extracts to your renders, and add information derived from other sources. Louis Philippe and Family. The ex. king Louis Philippe established himself with his family, first nt Clarenmnt, nnd now nt lUchmond. Ttie princes of Orleans live frugally, nnd even parsimoniously. As their pecuniary ull'airs are not yet arranged iu France, they are poor: and I believe they wish to appear poorer than they are. Five or sil domestics constitute alt their retinue. They keep no carriages nor horses. When they go to nines, they tnro a coach. Their repasts are extremely frugal ; they drink beer ut dinner, nnd wine is an object of luxury sciipulousty reserved for the dessert. The same economy is observed in everything. The princesses nre clothed like the daughters of small English merchants ; thev do not wear silks, nor laces, nor jewels. What a diil' rence between this humble condition and the brilliant life of Ihe Tuillerienl What a lesson for the great ones of the earth ! Louis Philip might obtain pecuniary aid from the English government, if he wished ; but an honorable susceptibility keeps him from this step. The Orleans family receive few visits. Some sd-venturers tried to otter, at Claremonl, plans nf restoration ; but they were not well received. Tho head of the house has the good sense to know Ihat his part is ended, and he is afraid of injuring the prospects of his children, by taking part in plots which would be all fruitless. The pet rs and other English lords, go rarely to Clnremont ; they understand thnt they can do nothing tu console so great a mis-fortune.According to the report of travelers, his retirement is very irksome lo l,ouis Philippe. He was very active in the palace nf the Tuilleriea ; he meddled in all affairs of administration ; he even found leisure to wrile memoirs of his reign ; and now h has nothing, or almost nothing, to dot Part of his tune is spent in reading English, French, and German newspapers. Then ho seeks for some one wilh whom to converse; for ho ia talkative, and loves to tell all thnt he thinks and does. . This loquacity does not dimmish with years, nor with his misfortunes; on the contrary, it increases, and is become a rath-er troublesome propensity. The ex-king does not wait for your reply ; he engrosses all (ho conversation.His fnvnrilo subject is to explain the events of his reign He prides himself lunch upon having never violated the laws. " Charles X. fell," he snys, " be cause he had done what was illegal ; and I, because I always respected ihe laws." Ho does not reproach himself for having refused the reforms claim, ed by the radiea's ; for he believes that if he find granted them, he would have been overthrow)) the sooner. Ho thinks that the restoration of the throne is impossible in France. His self lore is flittered with the idea that no one can occupy the place which he has lust. Louis Philippe preserves his clear mind and perspicuous political views. Ho judges men and things with shrewdness, but sometimes also, (winch is pardonable in Ins situation,) with a litile acrimony. He professes to rejrnrd M de Lnmarlme as Ihe flimsiest and feeblest of politicians, lie nltirms that General Cavuignao has only second rale military talenis, and lacks aptness for government. When in good humor, h laughs nt the odd pretensions of the republicans, Marraal, Flocon, and others, who held fur aomo time the reins of government. Maria Amelia, The Queen Maria JmUnt is more calm and mora serious. This Neapolitan princess showed at the mo. menl of misfortune, more presence of mind than Louis Philippe. She appears somewhat haughty. Her words are few and short. She seems absorbed in thought, and her feeble constitution contributes per. haps to irritate her mind. Maria Amelia was very bigoted on Ihe throno. She advised the wicked expedition anninsl Otahrite. The priests hnd persuaded her, thai the death of her eldest son, thu duko of Orleans, wns a chastisement from God, because he had married a proleslant wife. In exile, Maria Amelia continues to pracliee scrupulous, ly her devotions. She never neglects to attend Mnss, and her confessor is nu important person in her view. Let us respect the rclnrioiis creeds and acts of this unfortunate princess Her superstitions nre the effect of her education. Having been brought up in Naples, under the inllueiioe of Jesuits, she fins never known Ihe true Gospel. If she has committed faults, she has nlso displayed interesting qualities. Maris Amelia wan oharitnbtein her prosperous days ; Ihe poor blessed her memory, and she preserved in the corrupt at Unisphere of courts entire purity of ummla. DAa ds Ntmtnirt. Three priners reside wilh their father ; ttie duke de Nemours, dult d' .'hnnule, and prince d Jointtlle -m Their characters are quite diveitie ! The ilnkede Ne. niours is cold and incilurn ; ho reiemldes Ins ruotln When ho sat upon the steps of ihe throw, he was not' popular with Ihe people nor wilh ttie army, His mi. dress was hauuluy, his air disdainful, Ins word repulsive. He affected to regard Ins father's crown as nu evil rather than a good, lie was llio legitimise of the family. Some scandalous nilventuret lurtlier contributed to render him unpopular, and I believe Ihat aversion In him was Ihe chief cause of the establishment of the Republic alter the abdication of Louis Philippe. If he had possessed (tic confidence and affection of tho citizens and soldiers, he would have been proclaimed regent without difliculty. Duke d' Jiumale. The duke d' Aumale is the most nminble nriuee of the family. Ho is fond of books, study, and the labors of ntfice. His disappointments havo not dm- heartened him : ha nr-mra tfn.Ht ere ii it v ol loool. The duke d' Auuinle ia made for domestic life. He has not perhaps fgreat talents as a military mun or a statesman ; but he possesses qualities to make him happy in private life. Prince de Joinrille. As lo the prince de Joinville, he is an enterprising, restless youth, of feverish anxieiv. He m admiral of the French navy, and gratified his curiosity by vis- mug iiip iour quarters ui tne glolie. the repose ot Claremonl is intolerable to him He forms everv dnv a thousand plans. Sometimes he proposes to oiler Ins services to the United States in Ins quality of sailor; sometimes ho thinks of form in g a largo agriculHi- rai esmoirntiinent. 1 fie prince de Joinville will end, to all appearance, by going to Brazil. His wife is sis. ler uf the emperor of that country, and she has received as a dowry a Urge tract of territory. 1 speak not of the duke de Montpensier, who is in Spain, nor of ihe duchess a" Orleant, who lives in Germany with her two sons. She avails herself of the opportunity to separate herself from the royal family. As a protestant, she suffers much. The duchess d' Orleans is a pious, intelligent woman of an admirable character. She displayed in the Revolution of February a manly courntje. Now she bears nobly the weight of adversity and exile. God has not willed that she should become queen of France. Wo bow before his ways, which are not our ways. Mr. Gunot. To come to other political emigrants. Mr. (iuiiol is at Brompton, a suburb of Loudon, in a small house, amidst English books which he studies all his leisure moments, tmle is less irksome lo nim loan to ins colleagues. As a proleslant and also as a friend lo British institutions, Mr. Guizot finds on ttie other side of the Strait a congenial country. Members of par liament, literary men, men or science, editors, give him the most flattering reception. He has extensive intercourse with the first society, and his opinions nto always listened to wilh respect. When he wns am. bassador from France in Loudon, he might believe, and his enemies say, that the respect he received wns paid to him as the representative of a great nation; but now, when he is stnpt of all his honors, when he has no titles or fortune, il is Ins person, it is himself that the English surround with marked attention. Is not tins something to console the illustrious exile in all his misfortunes. He toils hard in his study. When in Prance, he had been composing from twenty lo twenty. five years a history of Cromwell. Now, having at his disposal many new and original documents, he has bejfun ngntu this historical work, with Hie design of relating all the events of the English republic. This will be nu inteiesting production, and fruitful in valuable information for the present age. Mr. Guizot has preserved in Ins full his old political opinions, lie does not love democracy, at icusi pure democracy. He would establish a balance of influ- nee nnd of power between the lower classes and Ihe ui'ddle classes of ttie people. He does not dread lib- rly ; perhaps he is even more liberal al heart than some radiculs: but he wishes a liberty tempered by the nristocrntic element. 1 doubt if Mr. Guizot's no-lions will become popular in our country. The French prize above all the principles of equality, aud will not consent lo sacrifice it at any price. Mr. Duchnttl. Another exiled statesman, Mr. Duchotel, has also fixed Ins residence in London. He was Minister of the Interior under Lnuis Philippe. He appears much lens resigned limn Mr. Guizot to his fall He accuses the republicans nf ingratitude and of folly, saying that ihey will not succeed in founding n regular government. Mr. Duchalel never showed great cnpncily iu ttie discharge of his duties. He did not hesitate to resort to fraud nnd corruption to support the cnbinet to which lie belonged. His absence lias tell no void in France, and he may remain as lung as he pleases in England. Louis Blanc. The emigrants, Messrs. Louis Mane and Caussidiere were driven to London under other circumstances- They were Ihe leaders of demagogues and socialists. They fled from the indignation of public opinion nf ler the days of June; awl they would even have been summoned before the court as accomplices in s conspiracy agiinst llio Inws, if Ihey had not prudently soul' lit shelter on a foreiiMi shore. Mr. Louis Blanc excited some sensation, when In-first came to Loudon The chartists and Hie cockney of the British metropolis decreed linn a sort of ovation The good merchants of the city were curious to si e a socialist, who had acquired so much renown in Pans Bul this first movemrnt of curiosity is sll over Mr Louis Blanc is too fickle nnd extravagant in his opinions for ttie Anglo Saxon race. He leads now a recluse life, toiling hard, writing a host ol petty pamphh l in the French language, and keeping up an sctive correspondence with Ins friends in Paris, who do not despair of seeing him, one dny, at ttie head ot our Re public. Mr. Caustidirre. ttr. Caussidiere wns prefect of police; he is a Her cutes in stature. He has an enormous beard, which scandalizes the smooth faced policemen, and he re in ins the coarse manners of a Invetn haunier. Mr Caussidiere adopted a singular method of producing ns lie said, order by disorder. He assembled the most turbulent persons, ttie worst men of Paris, cnnfidug to them the task of preserving the public peace, alt i the revolution of 148 You may judge how the task was performed. These strange ngents of his organized clubs, formed plots, frightened peaceable cilnens, disturbed all the branches of administration, unlit at last the pnvernment dismissed Mr. Caussidiere from his office uf prefect of police. This demagogue pases tiis time in writing memoirs which will coulain doubt less interesting anecdotes. Princs ds .U'fOrntrA. Frnm Mr. Cnussidiere to Prince de Metterntch ihe transition is rattier abrupt They are the twoextremes of the political scale. As the one is unbridled in his radicalism, the oluer in tixed in ri(saisniiiiisin rvir. de Metternich, as you know, was forced to quit Vienna to escape the vengeance of a victorious pcpnlsce. It was hard for a man who, for more than forty years, hod governed the Austrian monarchy, and who prided himself upon being the most eminent diplomatist of Europe. The whole edifice which he had raised with so much care fell in one dny, slid he went into exile, followed by the public execrations. But he has not lost all. Owning an immense fortune, and protected by his reputation, the prince de Metternich still plays a distinguished part in London He has received the visils of all the English peers. The persons who belong to high life choose his hotel in Eaton square for a place ot pilgrimage, and regard it as a favor In pass some hours with the German diplomatist. The duae of Wellington goes often to converse with turn. Lord Palmersion himselfshowsspec ial attentions lo Mr. de Metternich, and asks his advice on ttie political affairs of Europe ; his banishment is thus a triumph rather than a fall. From his retreat, me prince ue niettermcii still di rects the court of Austria. The new emperor Francis Joseidt, docs nothing important without first consulting the wily diplomatist, and the nar Nicholas corresponds with l.im by frequent lellers. These marks of confidence give io .iir.ue .m'tiernicn great importance. He preserves his pride and his arrogance, and loves to talk like an oracle, veiling from his hearers the secrets which ho sees in the future. The late events have not stall changed his opinions. He is an absolutist, as before, and you may he sure that lie will dio in his political faith. He despises utterly ttie democrats, and maintains tlmt Ihe revolutions of the European continent aru madnesus, follies winch will alf ird lessons to kings, lie blames princes for llieir weakness, because they heed Ihe wishes of the people, tie even reproaches Pius IX. for lending aft ear to the applauses of the liberals. Prince de M- It' r nich believes that, after brief convulsions, Europe will be happy to return under the double yoke of legitimiey and theocracy. With him, royal and priestly despotism is the perfection of governments, tie rejects not only the revolution of 178'.) i bul also the Ref ormation of the sixteenth century, and waits for the day wli- n the world shall return to the institutions of the dark ages, t hope ho will wait a good while. Count rfs Montemottn. The last political emigrnnt.who makes some figure in London rather by his birth tliau by Ins personal qua! ilies, is tho Count fit Montemotin Son of don Charles, he botieves himself lo bo the legitimate heir of tin. Spanish crown. But while his adherents, under the impulse nf fanatical priests, shod their blond for Ins cause, this pour pretender displays his incapacity in tho aristocratic parlors ut Lnglnnd. uount de ftion-ternolin has a mild and benevolent disposition, according to the testimony of his friends ; but he has none of the faculties which would render him capable of recov ering the throne of h'S fathers. He has peen trained tiy Jesuits, awl retains (lie ueep marns or mis aeo using location, He has neither tlrmness-oi chnrncier m-r largeness of views, and the obscurity ul private life suits perfectly his moderate talents.

Bishop Pureed of Cincinnati ordered two statutes representing kneeling Angels, of the natural size of Mr- Powers, which were lobe nccnmpnuimenls of (he altar of ihe Cathedral lecenl lv erected in thnt city.
